Retro's Florida Tour
Feb 13th, 2025
West Palm Beach
Greetings from Lion Country! We have officially wrapped up our 4th stop here on our Florida tour, thank you West Palm Beach! Our stay at the Lion Country Safari KOA Journey was awesome! You can hear the lions and even the chimps in the early mornings and at night right from your campsite. The grounds are huge and amenities are excellent. When you drive out of the campground, immediately to your right is the main attraction, the drive through safari with animals roaming free just outside your car windows like zebras, ostriches, various species of antelopes, rhinoceroses, giraffes and of course, a pride of lions. Our kids enjoyed this adventure and we then got to see the rest of the park which features a waterpark, a walk through zoo and many other attractions. We highly recommend this campground! Once we finished with the safari, we came back to our sites and enjoyed some smash-burgers on our Blackstone Grille and got our sites prepped for the pop up event. We had a wonderful crowd come through, a few folks who had never seen an Escape in person and we even had some ambassadors come by to see the brand new E23 Queen. It was wonderful meeting you all. We are now on the road headed to our final stop on this tour, Orlando!
We did have a location change for this last pop-up, the updated address is the following: Orlando Southwest KOA Holiday 2525 Frontage Rd, Davenport, FL 33837, we will have the trailers open tomorrow, Saturday 2/15 from 10AM-2PM and 5:30-7:30PM. We can’t wait to see you! Time for our next Epic Escape.

Naples
Greetings from the Gulf! We just wrapped up our 3rd stop on our Epic Escape tour here in beautiful Naples, Florida. The weather has been spectacular in the high 70s, low 80s (that is in fahrenheit for our Canadian friends!) and the Naples/Marco Island KOA where we stayed was lovely. We arrived just in time to witness a breathtaking, true Florida sunset and the colors were incredible. Thank you to everyone who came to our pop-up today, we had a really wonderful turn out and it was great showing some of the KOA residents an Escape for the very first time. While Steve and Dan ran the pop up event, Raquel and Emily took the kids to the Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples and they all had a blast! We are now packed up and are hitting the road again, headed across the state, through the Everglades to West Palm Beach to our next stop! We will be checking into the West Palm Beach/Lion Country Safari KOA Journey which has some really exciting adventures ahead! Follow along with us for our next Epic Escape!

Tampa
Hello from Clearwater, Florida! Our second stop on our pop-up tour has been wonderful! We are camped at the Clearwater/Lake Tarpon KOA and highly recommend it if you are traveling near the Tampa area. The grounds are peaceful and beautifully landscaped with tropical foliage, the Escapes looked gorgeous against all of the Florida Fauna scenery! The park has a resort style pool with a cabana and many relaxing spots like the community firepit and butterfly garden. The KOA staff has events happening every day like movie nights, s’mores, bingo and craft classes! The bathrooms are spacious and the laundry area was so easy to use! It has been a 10/10 camping experience, we even had a Florida osprey building a nest right above our sites which was really fun to witness. Our pop-up event on Sunday was a success and we are so grateful for all of you who stopped by! We had quite the crowd come from around the area and even had folks drive over an hour from Sarasota to come see the Escapes. The campground hosted a Super Bowl watch party that evening with complimentary hamburgers and hotdogs and we got to watch the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansa City Chiefs right from our campsite. We are now packed up and hitting the road to head towards our next stop in Naples, FL at the Marco Island/Naples KOA. We can’t wait to see you at the next pop up tomorrow, Tuesday 2/11 from 10AM-2PM! Time for the next adventure, we will see you in Naples!

Ocala
Today was a great day! We successfully completed our first pop of our Florida Tour. Our team arrived last night at the Ocala Sun RV Resort and when we pulled into the campgrounds, one of the first trailers that we saw was another Escape! We knew it was meant to be! We woke up to a foggy Florida morning but the sun eventually came out during our pop-up. We had quite a few visitors from 10AM-2PM, some folks who were sprinter van owners looking to swap to a travel trailer, others in larger rigs that were looking to downsize and of course we had some beloved existing Escape owners come by and say hello! It was a wonderful day in the Florida sun among new friends and both of our families enjoyed the campground as a whole. The staff at Ocala Sun were wonderful to work with, special shoutout to Kerri for all of your help! Ocala Sun has 387 sites on property, everything was super clean and easy to get to. We managed to take the kids on a bike ride around the area and check out all that they had to offer. There were pickleball courts, a pool and even a dog park! We will definitely be coming back to stay again! Now we are on the road and headed to our next stop, Clearwater! We can’t wait to see you all for our next pop-up on Superbowl Sunday from 10AM-2PM!

Jacksonville
Hello Escape Friends! Our team here at Retro Renos is gearing up for a new adventure and we are so excited to bring you along! Our two families, in 2 Escape Trailers, will hit the road in February to embark on our very FIRST Retro Renos and Escape Trailers Pop-Up Tour! The weather up here at our shop is Chilliwack cold up so we decided it’s time to chase the Florida sunshine and head down south. We will be pulling a 23 Queen and a 21NE, both offering plenty of space for a week-long trip with our kids. We are going to highlight some awesome Florida campgrounds and have our Escapes open for tours on select dates. Our first stop will be horse-country: Ocala, FL! Be sure to check in with us and follow along for the journey. We can’t wait to see you all on the road and in the wild.
